Stanley Payne's book 'Fascism in Spain' was mentioned multiple times as a significant source on the topic, exploring the development of fascism within Spain's unique historical context.
Historian Stanley Paine calls 1898 the first modern post-colonial trauma in Western Europe.
I'm going to quote from historian Stanley Payne here.
Officers largely accepted moderate left-wing social and economic aims. And there was even a strong strain of anti-capitalist thought among Spanish military leaders.
Army officers demanded suppression of the left's disorder, violence and subversion of national unity.
Historian Stanley Payne notes that in some provinces, sectors of the old political elite did join and dominate. But the organization also incorporated ordinary middle class people who had not previously been politically active.
